Pecan Squares

I'm from Georgia, so I grew up eating a lot of pecan pie. It is such a yummy dessert especially with a little vanilla ice cream. Oh my! As I have gotten older, the gummy, gooey part of the pecan pie started grossing me out a bit. I came across this recipe on myrecipes.com one day. I bookmarked it on my computer and then waited for the perfect opportunity to make it. Our neighbors had a little get together and asked everyone to bring something. I thought of these pecan squares. I had all the ingredients on hand. They were very easy to make.

These pecan squares are delicious! They are so buttery and nutty, it was amazing. They were a huge hit at the get together. :)

When I make these again, I won't pat the bottom mixture 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the dish. I felt like that was too high above the pecan filling. Next time I will probably do 1/2 to 1 inch up the sides.
